France vs Canada Match Thread

Might be an interesting game with all the rain.

Will the Canadian player who looks like Alan from the Hangover fall over if his beard gets to wet and heavy?

[Gatts]

It is 0130 here in canada and i am pretty sure i am the only fecker watching the game

[BATH_BTGOG]

At least France are back in Blue instead of trying to look like England!

I'd imagine Fra vs Can would be a big game in Canada? good morning Gatts

[BATH_BTGOG]

3-0 to Canada

[rodders]

Great start from Canada!

Feck the conditions are awful! This is a very dangerous game for France.

[rodders]

France try. Irelands old pal Vincent Clerc

Come on Canada!

Morning BBTGOG

You would especially as they have their own insurgency in Quebec but no. Pretty sure there are 7 people max watching the game.

[BATH_BTGOG]

Tryyyyy Canada

[Portnoy]

Copycat try for the Canucks! Lovely.

[Gatts]

Try Canucks. You know what if conditions level this Canada have the guts to make the frenchies heads go down

[Taylorman]

Raining alright.
Some of the poor spectators have running red white and blue faces. Try canada.
These are the two remaining AB opponents.

[rodders]

Penalty! Come on Canada!!

[Peter Seabiscuit Wheeler]

Franc can lose to anyone on their day

[Gatts]

Love watching Lievremont et al go all french and sulky in the box...

[maestegmafia]

Franc can lose to anyone on their day

Canada have always played well at world cups...!

[EnglishReign]

First time I've seen France in this RWC. That shirt is horrible.

[whocares]

good scrum and good work by the french forwards - penalty - 10 all

[maestegmafia]

First time I've seen France in this RWC. That shirt is horrible.

Nike make their kit, what do you expect?

[rodders]

I love the French but from an Irish point of view I'd love to see them knocked out! They're the last feckin team I want us to face should we qualify for the KO stages!

It's great to see teams like Canada do well too, their victory over Tonga was fantastic and they are a decent side.

[whocares]

are long beard fashionable in canada nowadays?

The England shirts are well smart though. At least they didn't try and fade two vastly different shades of blue.

[rodders]

Good start to the 2nd half for Canada.

[Cari]

Gwaaan Canada!

13 - 19 after 46 minutes!!!

[Cari]

Wow! Some great drop goals from Canada!

16 - 22.

[EnglishReign]

What a boring game. France probably won't beat NZ this time...

[Cari]

Ah boo! Van Der Merwe gives away a penalty right in front of the posts - but he misses! No points for France.

[RuggerRadge2611]

pretty shameful acrobatics from Clerc.

[TheGreyGhost]

This play-acting from France is pathetic.

The officials are doubly pathetic for buying it.

It's just a smear on the game. Players should be cited for play-acting and banned.

Pitiful France, utterly pitiful. Bunch of wet blouses.

[Cari]

Very controversial decision there. The Canadian 15 and Vince Clerc were chasing the ball, and the Canadian nudges Clerc, who dives over the advertising boards. Canada penalised. Harsh call. Clerc jumped over himself.

[RuggerRadge2611]

Justice is seved, brilliant turn over by Canada

[Cari]

Go Canada!

This French side will not beat the All Blacks playing like this.

[Shifty]

to be honest i was hoping the french were going to mash the canadians, its not going to happen, but at leats it is looking like they will win.

[Cari]

Trinh-Duc DG. 16 - 25

[Cari]

The Canadian kicker's handsome

Good penalty for them. 19 - 25.

[Cari]

Great defence from Canada. Another French try thwarted.

[rodders]

Yeah fantastic defence! come on Canada!

[rodders]

Awesome!!

[Cari]

Wow...and again! Excellent defending from Canada. Van der Merwe down though.

[Cari]

Awh no chance there. They wouldn't have caught him. Great try.

19 - 32 after conversion.

[rodders]

Feck! Great try from Traille! Thats the game now I'm afraid.

[Cari]

Great comeback from Canada - they're not giving up.

5 metre lineout. Come on!!!

[whocares]

Thrinh duc replaced by yachvili with parra moving at 10 - TD had another poor game, very worrying as he's the only full-time FH France have.

[Cari]

Here comes Medard for Rougerie.

[Cari]

ah easy try for Clerc! Only minutes to spare as well.

19 - 37.

[whocares]

Picamoles been name MOM? think they got the wrong 8!

and another clerc typical try. needs another one for the BP

[whocares]

french commentator very excited with this 4th try...fantastic team play and nice to see Mermoz in action.

[Cari]

19 - 46 FT after two Clerc tries in the dying minutes and extra time. France get the bonus point and Clerc made the hat trick.

[maestegmafia]

All due respect to a classic Canadian performance, well done France.

A good French performance.

[Cari]

Judging by the Japan and Canada games, France seem to find their form later in the matches. They can't afford to do that against the All Blacks.

[Guest]

France will be thrashed out of sight by NZ especially as they are likely to play a second string.

Canada played pretty well though. They're not a bad side.

As an England fan I'm not fearing this French side at all.
